Amoeba Review

04/07/2014

The ethereal sound of the Brainfeeder beatsmith is back, sounding less like a strobing image of MacArthur Park on a nice day and more like a blurry one, recalling the gentle romantic shimmer of Dan Snaith's Manitoba/Caribou project at its most abstract. Harder to rap over but potentially not designed for that, this is an album where increased abstraction subsumes even more detail, the immersive tropical haze no longer sticking to the small of your back so much as brushing it continuously. Beautiful music.
